Overall Satisfaction with Avalara AvaTax

Avalara is used to calculate sales tax across all of our locations in conjunction with our SYSPRO ERP system in the US and file the associated state sales tax reporting.
  • In states such as CO and CA sales tax rates vary greatly and by using Avalara we get accurate sales tax charges
  • Avalara assists us in the event of a sales tax audit by providing reports that can then be sent to the auditor
  • Avalara has allowed us to focus on our business rather than on sales tax
  • User generated reporting would be an additional benefit
  • Canadian reporting
  • Links to state web site verification to insure exemption certificates are valid
  • The major ROI is in the event of a sales tax audit where taxes are calculated correctly
  • We have not seen a reduction in G&A expense but it has given us additional time to focus on other business aspects
It is better suited in a multi-state environment where you can link your ERP system.
